We investigate the generalization of loop gravity's twisted geometries to a q-deformed gauge group. In the standard undeformed case, loop gravity is a formulation of general relativity as a diffeomorphism-invariant SU(2) gauge theory. Its…
We prove that Riemannian metrics in General Relativity in the \emph{`normal-coordinates'} gauge are in one-to-one correspondence with curvature 2-forms. We discuss how this can be used as a change of variables in the operator formalism to…
A phenomenology for the deep spatial geometry of loop quantum gravity is introduced. In the context of a simple model, an atom of space, it is shown how purely combinatorial structures can affect observations. The angle operator is used to…
Recently it was shown that an asymptotic behaviour of $SU(N)$ gauge theory for large $N$ is described by q-deformed quantum field. The master fields for large N theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields…
We propose a quantum field theory description of the X-cube model of fracton topological order. The field theory is not (and cannot be) a topological quantum field theory (TQFT), since unlike the X-cube model, TQFTs are invariant (i.e.…
In complete analogy with Seiberg-Witten map defined in noncommutative geometry we introduce a new map between a q-deformed gauge theory and an ordinary gauge theory. The construction of this map is elaborated in order to fit the Hopf…
We describe a q-deformation of the Lorentz group in terms of a q-deformation of the van der Waerden spinor algebra.
We introduce a new map between a q-deformed gauge theory on a general GL_{q}(N)-covariant quantum hyperplane and an ordinary gauge theory in a full analogy with Seiberg-Witten map. Perturbative analysis of the q-deformed QED at the…
Using the multi-parametric deformation of the algebra of functions on $ \GL{n+1} $ and the universal enveloping algebra $ \U{\igl{n+1}} $, we construct the multi-parametric quantum groups $ \IGLq{n} $ and $ \Uq{\igl{n}} $.
Quantum gravity phenomenology has been historically regarded as a difficult endeavour, due to the apparent scarcity of phenomena involving the required scales of length (Planck length $l_P$) and energy (Planck energy $E_P$). It was…
Multiparameter quantum gl(N) is not a rigid structure. This paper defines an essential deformation as one that cannot be interpreted in terms of a similarity transformation, nor as a perturbation of the parameters. All the equivalence…
The quantum deformation of the Hopf algebra describes the skeleton of quantum field theory, namely its characterizing feature consisting in the existence of infinitely many unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation…
The framework used to prove the multiplicative law deformation of the algebra of Feynman-Bender diagrams is a \textit{twisted shifted dual law} (in fact, twice). We give here a clear interpretation of its two parameters. The crossing…
After a brief survey of the appearance of quantum algebras in diverse contexts of quantum gravity, we demonstrate that the particular deformed algebras, which arise within the approach of J.Nelson and T.Regge to 2+1 anti-de Sitter quantum…
A simple method is proposed for deforming $A_\infty$-algebras by means of the resolution technique. The method is then applied to the associative algebras of polynomial functions on quantum superspaces. Specifically, by introducing suitable…
Nonstandard q-deformed algebras U'_q(so_n), proposed a decade ago for the needs of representation theory, essentially differ from the standard Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum deformation of the algebras U(so_n) and possess with regard to the latter…
It is believed that classical behavior emerges in a quantum system due to decoherence. It has also been proposed that gravity can be a source of this decoherence. We examine this in detail by studying a number of quantum systems, including…
This paper together with the previous one (arXiv:hep-th/0604146) presents the detailed description of all quantum deformations of D=4 Lorentz algebra as Hopf algebra in terms of complex and real generators. We describe here in detail two…
We study possible restrictions on the structure of curvature corrections to gravitational theories in the context of their corresponding Kac--Moody algebras, following the initial work on E10 in Class. Quant. Grav. 22 (2005) 2849. We first…
A framework is proposed that allows to write down field theories with a new energy scale while explicitly preserving Lorentz invariance and without spoiling the features of standard quantum field theory which allow quick calculations of…
